Dan, we have it on our site.  Don't remember you contacting us about
it.  Part number is either 025121062F for the automatic version which is
$120 or 025121062E is $69 (manual version).  These are aftermarket hoses
that I make up myself, but they are brand new hoses.  Let me know if you
are interested.
